French term

sûreté aux armées

French to English Other Military / Defense
Hi there,
I'm translating some intellegence documents from the former French Colonial Intelligence Agency in Beirut. This particular document was created in 1945.

The source of one of the communications is "sûreté aux armées".

My best guess is this probably would translate at "Military Security" but I don't really have the historical knowledge of this period to confirm.

Any history buffs able to help?

Many thanks in advance!

Army Counterintelligence

not very obvious, but from these "historical records" their job seems to have been chasing enemy spies - so that would be "Counterintelligence"

LA SÛRETE AUX ARMEES AU TRAVAIL

Par François SALAS

Nous avons souvent souligné les mérites de la Sûreté aux Armées. Jamais encore nous n'avions pu publier un récit documenté montrant son travail. C'était une lacune dans l'oeuvre historique que nous nous sommes assignée.

Note from asker:
Thanks Daryo! I agree with you on "Counterintelligence" but I think Military rather than Army - for this sort of context at least.
